Description
It irks us wine nerds: the most ancient wine-making cultures are also among the most overlooked in our modern wine world. Take Serbia: they've been doing it since pre-history, Roman times to ours. Guess what, though? This bottle didn't get here due to some Vinous Equal Opportunity program -- it got here because it electrifed our brains and kept them on all night. Maurer Fodor Olaszrizling is reason enough to shine a light on Balkan wine. Organic farming, two weeks on the skins, no additions. He describes his wine as “grease and motor oil for the soul,” and with a wine this texturally compelling, full of stone fruit, citrus zest, and peach iced tea flavors, we’re inclined to agree!
